Ondo CP orders redeployment of DPO over unprofessional conduct in viral video

The Commissioner of Police, CP, Ondo State Command, Adebowale Lawal, has ordered the immediate redeployment of the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Enu-Owa Division in Ondo West Local Government Area of the state.

Lawal said this in a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Akure by the command’s spokesperson, DSP Olushola Ayanlade.

The CP explained that the DPO’s redeployment followed his unprofessional handling of a recent case involving a social media influencer, Adefolarin Ayomiposi, popularly known as Mandykiss.

He said the action of the command became necessary after a video surfaced online showing the said influencer recording and taking snapshots of suspects while in police custody at Enu-Owa Division.

According to him, the incident, which has generated widespread public concern, prompted a swift internal review by the command.

Lawal said the preliminary findings revealed that no police personnel accompanied Mandykiss during the purported arrest.

He said Mandykiss was reportedly aided by her internet followers, who provided information leading to the location of the suspects — Mrs Akinwole Sabitu and her daughter, Miss Akinwole Oyindamola — accused of alleged cyberbullying.

“After effecting the arrest, she was seen recording a video inside her vehicle while conveying the suspects to the station.

“Upon arrival, she handed them over to the police but went further to take their photographs within the station premises and post them on her social media platforms.

“This is an act contrary to standard police procedure and inconsistent with the legal principle of presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

“This sequence of events demonstrated a clear lapse in supervisory responsibility and professional judgment on the part of the DPO,” he said.

Court dismisses Musa Nuhu’s fundamental rights suit against ICPC

The Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a Fundamental Rights Enforcement suit filed by the suspended Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Captain Musa Nuhu, against the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.

Court dismisses Musa Nuhu’s fundamental rights suit against ICPC

The Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Abuja has dismissed a Fundamental Rights Enforcement suit filed by the suspended Director-General of the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, Captain Musa Nuhu, against the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.

In suit number FCT/HC/CV/3384/202, Captain Nuhu had challenged the invitation extended to him by the ICPC in connection with official vehicles allegedly remaining in his possession during his suspension from office.

The applicant contended that the invitation amounted to harassment, intimidation, and a violation of his fundamental rights to personal liberty and freedom of movement as guaranteed under Sections 35 and 41 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

In his originating summons, Captain Nuhu further argued that he was already under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and that the invitation from the ICPC, a sister anti-corruption agency, constituted a duplication of investigative processes.

In response, the ICPC, through a 13-paragraph counter-affidavit, stated that eight months after his suspension, Captain Nuhu continued to retain and use three official vehicles belonging to the Federal Government.

The vehicles were listed as a Toyota Land Cruiser VXR V8 5.7 (2019 model), a Toyota Hilux (2018 model), and a Lexus LX 570s (2019 model).

The Commission maintained that these vehicles were official government properties, and that it was within its statutory mandate to recover such assets pending the conclusion of investigations.

The ICPC further emphasized that as a suspended official, Captain Nuhu was not entitled to enjoy the privileges of his office, including the use of official vehicles.

Countering the applicant’s argument on alleged “duplicity of investigation,” the ICPC clarified that its invitation to the suspended NCAA boss was limited to the recovery of government property unlawfully retained, which was distinct from the subject of investigation being handled by the EFCC.

In her judgment, Honourable Justice Njideka Nwosu-Iheme held that there was no fundamental right of the applicant known to law that had been breached or warranted any judicial protection.

The Presiding Judge said, “Courts must refrain from clipping the wings of enforcement agencies, including the Respondent (ICPC), unnecessarily.

The Applicant has failed to prove the basis of his assertion, and his case therefore fails. The sole issue is resolved in the negative and in favour of the Respondent. I refuse this application for being unmeritorious and lacking in merit. The application is dismissed in its entirety.”

With this ruling, the court affirmed the ICPC’s legal authority to invite and question suspended public officials over the use or retention of government property pending investigations.

Lawyer seeks NIA DG’s intervention over illegal trespass on property by officers

An Abuja-based lawyer, Barrister Victor Giwa, has called for the intervention of the Director-General of the National Intelligence Agency, NIA, over alleged illegal trespass on a property located on Plot 1682, Zone 7 Wuse by officers of the organization.

The lawyer, on behalf of a firm, A and R International Investment Limited, in a letter dated October 14, 2025, and addressed to the NIA DG, said following the illegal intrusion and trespass on the property, the trespassers have started destroying some parts of the property.

Giwa, Lead Partner, Victor Giwa and Associate, told the DG that the NIA, as one of the best security agencies in the country, its officers should not be involved in such unprofessional conduct. According to him, the said property, which was occupied and managed by his clients through their agents since 2009, have been trespassed, barricaded, taken over by armed officers of the NIA.

Giwa said, “This occupation and trespass took place shortly after our clients’ agent took writ from the court to vacate some persons who held over some flats for a number of years without payment of their rents.

“All efforts to inquire about the reason for the occupation, trespass of our clients’ property by your armed officers have proved abortive and was greeted with threats.

“It was also discovered that shortly after the illegal intrusion and trespass on the property, the trespassers have started destruction of some part of the property.

“It’s on the basis of the worrisome development that we as counsel has written this letter to you in order to call your urgent attention to this situation.

“Sir, it is our position, that the activities of your officers in the said property is intimidating, unlawful, and illegal, aimed at forcefully taking possession of our clients’ property without lawful authority.

“We believe as one of the best security agencies in the country, your officers should not be named or seen in such characterisation.

“Our search and inquiry at Abuja Geographical Information System, (AGIS) still shows that the property is still covered under the Certificate of occupancy (C of O) belonging to our clients. Attached is the copy of the C of O and the search report of the property for your perusal.

“We are accordingly demanding that you direct the withdrawal of your officers on our clients’ property immediately to allow our clients continue the usage of their property.”
